Things to do in Guangshan

Lushan Mountain, if you have enough time, you really should spend three or four days exploring it at a leisurely pace. I only had an afternoon and a morning for a rushed tour. East Route: Three-Tiered Spring (2600 steps up and down, a real challenge!), Five Old Men Peak (you absolutely must climb to the top; I recommend climbing from one to five in order, try it and see!), Hanpokou, Dakou Waterfall (the water volume in the off-season is really...😅😅😅), Lulin Lake, Lushan Museum (Mao Zedong's former residence). West Route: Ruqin Lake, Fairy Cave, Bai Juyi's Thatched Cottage, Flower Path, Meilu, Lushan Conference Site. For meals, head to the main street of Guling Town; there are so many good places to eat! Food? Tonight you absolutely must watch "Romance on Lushan Mountain," a classic old movie that connects all the scenic spots of Lushan. It's a short film, perfect for a Guinness World Record attempt! On the road, the sightseeing cable car and shuttle bus are must-buys; walking will leave you exhausted. The shuttle bus is 70 yuan for 7 days—a great price! The drivers are generally very friendly, and since it's the off-season, there seem to be more buses than people, so there's no need to wait excessively or queue. 🫰🫰🫰 For the return trip from Lushan, there's a direct bus from the lower cable car station to the Lushan High-Speed ​​Railway Station for 10 yuan, a 20-minute ride.

I went on the evening of October 2nd, and it wasn't crowded. We could ride almost any attraction with very little waiting time, one after another. There were many NPCs along the way who you could interact with. I bought a yellow wristband, but it didn't seem very useful; they even try to scare you if you don't wear it.

Lecturer Wang Qiaoyun was very professional when introducing the Bao Gong Temple, connecting Bao Gong with the national policies of the Northern Song Dynasty, which gave us a deeper understanding of this period of history and Bao Gong! [Smile]

Dingliwan is located in Dingli Village, Balifan Town, Xinxian County, Henan Province. It was first built in the late Yuan Dynasty and early Ming Dynasty, and was most prosperous during the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty. It has more than 10,000 acres of land and more than 600 houses. It is the Li family manor, with a circle of more than 10 miles and more than 800 people living in it. In 2003, it was hailed as the Henan Folk House Village and is an ancient village check-in spot.

The Xiangyang Ancient City Wall is located in Xiangcheng District, Xiangyang City, Hubei Province. Originally built during the Han Dynasty, it underwent several renovations from the Tang to the Qing Dynasties. The wall was initially roughly square, with a perimeter of 7331 meters, a maximum height of 10.84 meters, and a thickness of 11-14 meters. The overall structure includes trapezoidal cross-section walls and arched gates. The city wall has six gates on its four sides, each with a barbican or inner city, and corner towers at the four corners. Along the wall are watchtowers and beacon towers, and over 4000 crenellations are built. A moat surrounds the city, reaching a maximum width of 250 meters and an average width of 180 meters. On June 25, 2001, the Xiangyang Ancient City Wall was designated as a fifth batch of National Key Cultural Relics Protection Units by the State Council of the People's Republic of China. Speaking of the ancient city of Xiangyang, it inevitably evokes memories of Jin Yong's martial arts novels for a generation. The legendary stories of the heroes Guo Jing and Huang Rong defending the city and Yang Guo losing his arm all took place here. It was also a place where Yue Fei's army once fought.

Hiking on Tiantai Mountain is a very interesting experience. There are no specific routes here; you just have to walk slowly and search carefully. Occasionally, you'll meet someone who shares your interests, and hiking together is especially fun.
